Audio story & website, ink drawings, sourced images, sound, music.
Does a robot’s death make it, somehow, feel more “human” to us? Based on the real-life story of a space probe NASA lost contact with in 2013, this audio piece blends scientific fact and speculative fiction to imagine the probe's current existence and newfound life cycles in orbit. Spanning space and time, this story follows the ticking of the cosmos from the first charted comets and their movements to that one fateful day where a robot’s clock began to show the wrong time.
